Mark M Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 well this is a subject out of my comfort zone and was done for fun, its all OOB and as i managed to break the tail wheel off and loose it, ive had to improvise on the wheels, so here we are scambeling, i know this is far to heavily weathered and she never flew in action but i dont care!! hope you like here, build thread HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMChladek Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I must admit the late mark Spitfires without the graceful wing shape, the weird rudders and bubble canopies aren't my favorites to look at. That being said though, this build looks nice. It is big, impressive and seems to hit the right touches. And the best part is it is DONE! Good work mate! This is the old Matchbox kit, is it not?

David Womby Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Looks really good! (especially as I do prefer the later Marks of Spit and Seafires) David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggers Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Good one Mark,I like it a lot. As to the tail wheel,just close the doors,it usually whips up well before the main undercart on a Spit/Sea. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy In the states, Windex works as it has ammonia in it and Future/Kleer always softens with ammonia. I am not sure what the UK equivalent would be, but there should be something that will do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
